Chicken Paprika

I've been making Chicken Paprika for over 20 years.  I learned the recipe in a college cooking class.  It isn't difficult to make and it is so delicious!  My Pickiest -Eater -Ever Son absolutely loves it!  I think you will, too.  Here's how to make it.



CHICKEN PAPRIKA

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 onion, cut into thin slices
3 TBS oil (olive, vegetable, canola, etc)
salt/pepper   
paprika
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup sour cream

Saute the onions in oil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.



Meanwhile, season chicken breasts with salt, pepper and paprika.


(I know, this is more than 4 chicken breasts, I made extra because my son will eat it for lunch the next day).

When the onions are golden, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Brown the chicken on both sides over medium-high heat.



Add the chicken broth and return the onions to the skillet.



Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.  Put a lid on the skillet and simmer, covered for 15-20 minutes (my chicken breasts were on the thin side, if you are using real thick ones simmer 20-25 minutes or until cooked through).


 Once it is done simmering, remove the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.

Whisk the sour cream into the broth and onions until smooth.  Do not boil it!  It will curdle!  Just gently warm it through.



Whisk it until it is smooth.


Remove from heat once it's warm.  Spoon sauce over the chicken.  I always serve this with angel hair pasta.  The sauce is wonderful over the pasta!


See how easy that was?  You are definitely going to want to give this one a try.  Let me know what you think.
